We’re back with another 64 pages, and the Spring 2015 edition is even better folks! We’ve got all your favourite segments from last time round and have filled them with a bunch of new and exciting songwriters, bringing you an app that you just won’t want to miss. We talk to the US and UK chart sensation Rumer and discover the truth behind her work with incomparable Burt Bacharach, and get an exclusive from Joanna Gruesome (and talk songwriting with the most exciting punk band around), as well as hearing from the truly legendary Peggy Seeger.

We also introduce American Idol finalist Paul McDonald, former wedding singer Aisling Peartree and indie-rock tyros Trust Fund. There’s lot more tips and techniques (10 of them just for the piano-playing songwriter), Eg White’s story of how he wrote Leave Right Now and Rob Birch telling us the back-story to Stereo MCs’ classic Connected.As well as this, there’s reviews galore, some insightful and unique songwriting recollections from Sodajerker, and Lisa Redford’s discourse on how to make the most of social media. And if this wasn’t enough, we’ve also given our look an upgrade, with issue two possessing a veneer that Bowie would kill for.
